It’s a proud moment for the organisers of the Beirut International Film Festival. Just as Time Out Beirut was going to print, they announced they would be screening the films that were banned from the festival in the 2009 and 2010 editions in a special week supported by the Ministry of the Interior. Two films per day, including Degaulle Eid’s documentary on witnessing the civil war massacre of his family, ‘Chou Sar?’ will be shown.
